Denon DVD Players

Hello,

Does the Denon 2800 MK II have aspect ratio control for 16:9 hdtv?

Basically I'm looking for a Denon DVD player for use with a HDTV -- due to financial reason, I'm also going to have it do double duty as a cd player -- I don't really care if it has DVD-A/SACD --- any ideas?

I was thinking of the 2800 MK II, the 3800 if I could afford it, or possibly one of the new universal players.

Any thoughts or opinions will be appreciated.

Thank You

The 2900 does SACD multichannel, not 2 channel only.

Why do older Denon DVD player (DVM-3700 or DVM-1800) do not play CD-R CD-RW.

I'm just curious because most of my older CD player (i got an old TEAC from 1992) that does read and play CD-R audio (not MP3 of course) and I can't undestand why a much recent DVD player would not.

thanks

Kira is correct - my bad. The DVD-2900 does do multi-channel SACD, I confused that with my previous Sony DVP-9000ES.

I have a 2800 that I bought used from eBay 6 months ago for 200$.

Pros; very good picture, great blacks, blues, skin tone. Pretty good reds. Great detail.

Cons; can't dim or turn off the damned display: it's quite bright... when watching it through the tv's speakers (the only way I have it hooked up now.. remodeling..), the dynamic ratio is a bitch to deal with even with the compression turned on, hollywood movies are always too damned loud unless it's only dialogue. Menus hard to work with, too much work.
